Ingredients
- 3/4 mug basmati rice
- 50g butter, measure using packet
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 onions, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 teaspoons cumin
- 3 teaspoons ground coriander
- 400g tin puy lentils, drained
- salt and pepper
- 100g pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped basil
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 x 225g packs halloumi, cut into cubes
- Cook the rice gently in 1 1/2 mugs of boiling water until all the water has boiled away. Once cooked, remove from the heat and set aside.
- Meanwhile heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the onions until they are browned and caramelised. Keep on a medium heat to make sure they don’t burn and keep stirring them. May take about 8 – 10 minutes to go really brown.
- Add the garlic, cumin and coriander to the pan, along with the lentils. Cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the cooked rice, pine nuts and the herbs.

NP - Sorry, I just submitted a comment thinking it would go on one particular recipe but I think instead it's a general message box that gets sent to you with no reference to the recipe I was on at the time so you won't know what dish I was asking about. I'm wondering at which point the halloumi gets cooked and added to the Rice with Caramelised Onions, Pine Nuts and Halloumi dish. I can't see where it mentions it in the recipe. Thanks.26 Apr 2016
